"no one can pull wool over his eyes, he should do well, for he is an old soul trapped in that young body."
"It all comes back to discipline and moderation. I was probably always an intermittent faster, before it was trending because I am not one for breakfast. Some hot water with lemon would do just fine. I don’t have a penchant for meat, I eat a lot of fish and vegetables, and I am not an alcoholic drinker. I must admit we Fitzes have a sweet tooth, so ice cream is my indulgence as you would have noticed."

"And you also have to learn how to pull back and find that time for you, every single day."
"Love is about being selfless. It’s about losing control in the healthiest way imaginable."
"Another important element of love is finding yourself, and that’s how you know what love is. When you become much more comfortable with you. A relationship you have with your child, with a significant other, or with a friend that helps you to grow into your own skin — that’s a huge part of love."
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
